I was not disappointed in it, for it en abled me, a small delicate woman, to nurse a bouncing healthy baby 14 months. "I have since continued the use of Postum for I have grown fond of it and have discovered to my joy that it has entirely relieved me of a bilious habit which used to prostrate me two or three times a year, causing much discomfort to my family and suffering to myself. "My brother-in-law was cured of chronic constipation by leaving off the old kind of coffee and using Postum. He has become even more fond of it than he was of the old coffee. "In fact the entire family, from the latest arrival, (a 2-year old who al ways calls for his 'potie' first thing in the morning) up to the head of the iiouse, think there is no drink so good or so wholesome as Postum."

WANT THE LAW INTERPRETED. Officiate of Sioux and Gosper Coun ties Want Information. The legal department of the state has been asked by the officials of Sioux and Gosper counties for an In terpretation of the Judge Tucker law, enacted by the legislature, pro viding for the selection of jurors. Under the terms of the law neither of these counties can figure just how they can select a jury, and so far the legal department has not been able to solve the puzzle, though It has not given up. In the meantime it was thought advisable to write Judge Tucker; but, as he has troubles of his own, this plan has been abandon ed and the attorney general will con tinue at work on the proposition, though guesses from other attorneys will be in order. The proposiion to be solved is as follows: Section 1674 of the supple-' ment to Cobbey's statutes provides: "How Names Selected From List That upon the completion of the canvass of election returns said board shall select at least 500 names from the tally sheet, provided that the tally sheet contains that many names; if the tally sheet does not contain 500 names, then from the actual number of names contained on said sheet, in all counties having less than 30,000 inhabitants in the man ner following: They shall divide the number of electors to be selected by the number of the voting precincts and allot to each voting precinct the quotient or number thus obtained; then the board shall divide the num ber of names found upon each tally sheet of each voting precinct by the quotient or number alloted to each voting precinct; then shall count from the top of the tally sheet of the precinct the number of names of this last quotient, the last name of which shall be selected and put into a re ceptacle as hereinafter provided; then again count down the tally sheet, selecting every name that corre sponds to the number of this quoti ent, until the full quota of names from said precinct shall have been chosen, and thus continue 'the pro cess, through each precinct until the required number of names shall have been selected, and the names so fur nished to the clerk of the distnee court of the county or his deputy.

That alfalfa is becoming one of the greatest and most valuable crops in Nebraska is conclusively shown by a report issued by the state bureau of labor and statistics dealing with the' university, and during these years he acreage, production and value of the was the tutor of the czar's son, Alex alfalfa crop of Nebraska for 1905. The J snder. It was Pobiedonostseff's asso- report shows the total yield of the crop to be 1,301,760 tons, at a value of $11,715,840. This great yield was raised upon an acreage of 315.711 acres, which gave an average yield of 4.12 tons per acre. The increase in' the production of this valuable hay is very noticeable when the acreage and production for the last four years is considered. In 1902 the acreage of alfalfa in the state was 201,556 acres, and the estimated yield was 644,979 tons; in 1903 the total acreage was 238,401, with an estimated production of 834,403 tons, and in 1904, although the acreage decreased about 2,000 . acres, being 236,321 acres, yet the ' total production was greater, owing to a larger average yield. The total yield for that year was 886,203 tons. It will, therefore, be seen that bv far ! the greatest annual increase has been ' onostseff who led the reactionary op made this year. The increase in ! position to Alexander II.'s naturally acreage over last year has been 79,390 j Ijberal tendencies.- Only once did a acres and in total production 415,760 J political enemy triumph over Pobie tons.

LIFELONG ENEMY OF LIBERTY Poblsdonostsoff. the Incarnation of Absolutism in Russia. Gives Up. There was not room in all Russia for liberty and Constantino Petro vitch Pobledonostseff. The czar prom ised the Russians liberty, and Poble donostseff, who had always denied that the people were entitled to lib erty, effaced himself. For more than half a century Poble donostseff was the evil genius of the czars of Russia. He was the Incar nation of absolutism. He believed In the autocracy of the czar. He did not believe in the rights of the people to any form of self-government He did tot believe In free speech, or in a free press. He was equally opposed to freedom of conscience. He did not be lieve in educating the masses. He be lieved in the czar and the Orthodox church and in nothing else. As His Enemies See Him. ' Pobiedonostseff's enemies have de clared tha't his ruthless fanaticism has broken up thousands of families, ruined countless men of the noblest JZJ2l character, and driven untold thou sands into Siberian exile; that his long life has been devoted to working evil, unredeemed by one single act of charity or nobility; that his hands are stained with the blood of massacred Jews, knouted peasants, and blud geoned students. Whether these charges are true or false, or partly true and partly false. Pobledonostseff ps the most hated man in Russia to-day. And yet his bit terest enemies gladly testify to his sincerity and his absolute purity of character. Money has never soiled his hands. His name has never been connected with scandal, although his fierce denunciation of the immorality of even men high in Russia's society stings like the whip of a scorpion, and Intensifies the already burning hatred felt for him. It is admitted, too, without dispute that Pobledonostseff is totally without personal ambition. His enemies, who speak of him as bigoted, fanatical, and cruel, admit that he is actuated In all his policies and plans by a de vout and fervent Ideal. Singlemind edness, simplicity, purity, intensity, and a determination that is fanatical these are the elements of Pobled- """"" - Fifty Years of Public Service. Pobledonostseff was born in Mos cow In 1827. and since 1846 he has been a part of Russia's official life, for in that year, after completing his education in the higher law school of Russia, he was appointed by Czar Nicholas I. as an official of the sen ate. From 1859 until 1865 he was professor of civil law at the Moscow elation with the czarevitch for near ly ten years that gave him such an Influence over the young man who aft- ernwards became Alexander III., and also with Alexander II. In 1868 he was created a senator, and in 1872 a member of the imperial council. It was in these growjng years of bis' career that Pobiedonostseff formu lated his peculiarly Russian orin- ciples of political economy and in I rllllnj tUn. ;nn . :.!.. .l I.

The basis of his political creed was: "The czar alone rules', the church Is omnipotent and the prin- c,Ple of the sovereignty of the people Is the falsest of all doctrines." Tears Up a Constitution. Pobiedonostseff ruled Alexander II. only intermittently. It was Pobied- donostseff. in the closing years or the reign of Alexander II. Loris Melikoff formulated a constitution and pre vailed 'upon the czar to sign it. But Pobiedonostseff triumphed after all. for an assassin killed Alexander II. and his son, Alexander III. the pupil Search for Old Roman City.

One morning he entered the grocery store where he usually traded, and, In re sponse to the pleasant greeting of the proprietor, delivered himself of the following: "Mornin', be gosh darn. See here, for wot you charge my wife for two pounds of butter wot she never got? Ba gosh, dat's darn poor butter, too." Boston Herald. 22W22SZ255 of Pobledonostseff mounted the throne. Alexander HI. tore up the constitution his father had signed and inaugurated "the terror" in Russia. In those awful years of fierce warfare between absolutism and nihilism, years in which thousands of liberal Russians went to the scaffold, to prison, or to Siberia Pobledonostseff was the power behind the throne. The czar ruled Russia, but Pobledo nostseff ruled the czar. The czar made made him procurator of the holy synod and thereafter Pobledo nostseff ruled the church as well as the czar. His reign continued until Alexander III. died and the present czar, Nicholas II.. mounted the throne. From tliis period his influence in state affairs grew rapidly. He be came a member of the council of the ministry of justice, a privy councilor, a senator, a secretary of state, a min ister, and finally chief procurator of the holy synod. Since the death of the Czar Liberator Alexander II. he has been unquestionably the most powerful man in Russia. He has been a voluminous writer on jurisprudence and politics, and his "Course of Civil Law" has a European reputation. Personally he is exceedingly interest ing, a little frigid in his manner, but a brilliant taiker and a not ungenial host. His Influence Over the Czar. Nicholas II. is a man of natural lib eral tendencies, but he has been held secure in a strait jacket of absolutism put upon him by the reactionary party the grand dukes, the chiefs of the bureaucracy of whom Pobiedon cstseff was the ruling spirit. Nicholas II. decreed the end of exile to Siberia for political crimes and Pobledonost seff nullified the decree by his influ ence over the bureaucratic chiefs, to whom the enforcement of the decree was intrusted. The czar decreed more privileges for the zemstvos and Po biedonostseff's influence prevented the decree from going into effect. Nicholas II. a year ago promised the people wider liberties, and the same day he signed a ukase, said to have been written by Pobiedonostseff. who arose from a sick bed to go to the palace at midnight, nullifying every thing he had promised. But all things come to an end. The Russian people, aroused and terribly In earnest, enforced their demands for liberty, and the czar, deserted by the grand dukes, abandoned by his frightened bureaucratic chiefs, warned by the assassination of Bob rikoff. Von Plehve, and Serguis, yield ed. He promised the people a con stitutional form of government, and Pobiedonostseff, true to his principles to the last, gave up his office of pro curator of the holy synod. SWEDEN'S NEW ENSIGN HOISTED Old Emblem of Union with Norway Is Lowered Vessels Salute.

The Best Example of What a Purs Baking Powder Should Be in Qual ity and Price. A popular and efficient baking powder re quires two things first, that the food made with it shall be absolutely wholesome; second, that it shall bo sold tit a reasonable price. In talking about the healthfulness of baking powder, it must be remembered that baking powder is not an article of diet any more than compressed yeast. One would be quite as objectionable" for food as ine otner, except that or the two, the bak Im? powder might be preferable. AVe do not eat cither baking powder or yeast. What we do eat is the biscuit and bread raised with them. When placed upon the table no yeast remains in the bread and no baking powder in the biscuit. Both leavening agents have been destroyed In the aeration and the baking; otherwise, in stead of light bread and biscuit vre should have a mass of heavy, hard-baked dough. One well-known brand. K C Baking Powder, is sold under a $500,000 guarantee of its healthfulness and purity. There can be no doubt that a baking powder so guar anteed is absolutely wholesome and perfect ly reliable. Even if it did remain in the food it could do nothing but good. With regard to price, a baking powder as efficient and wholesome as is possible to make can be sold, at a fair profit, for one cent an ounce. If it costs more the price is exhorbijant. Millions of pounds of K C Baking Powder, Bade by the Jaques Manufacturing Com pany of Chicago, have been 'sold at the above figure all over the country; and K C offers the best example at present on the market of what a good baking powder should be, both in respect of quality and reasonable price.
